Adrian of Caesarea in Palestine

Saint Adrian of Caesarea in Palestine suffered together with the holy martyr Eubulus. Both came from the village of Banea, near Lake Van in Armenia. They are commemorated on 16 February.

Adrian and Eubulus came to Caesarea to see the martyrs and confessors of Christ. There they declared openly that they were Christians and were brought without delay before the governor Firmilian, before whom they boldly confessed the Christian faith. The governor ordered them to be tortured, but the saints remained unshaken. Then he ordered them to be thrown to wild beasts. The lions did not touch them, and the saints were put to the sword.
